CNC Engine Block..............

the machine time I'm sure was intense but props to the programmer... you can rack your brain pretty hard sittin in front of the puter programming that shit! I've had some pretty involved jobs but that must of been a pain
 
interesting stuff, i wonder what cam software that was running.

i was watching them machine cat blocks in canada, 4 hour cycle time removes a total of 175 lbs of cast iron. the machien had a 30 by 30 foot print, i think it was a okk
 
It probably didn't take that long to program it. I'm guessing alot of it was done as a 3d file. We surface some pretty big dies and the programmer can usually get it done in a day or 2 probably took longer to design it. I'm surprised they use a 1" cutter for a lot of it, Specially when they are hogging out a lot of the bigger sections you'd think they would use a 2 or 3" probably cut the cycle time down significantly . It was more then 11 minutes it was time lapsed in some sections.

Still amazed at what the machines can do and they are only getting better. We have a giant FPT boring mill its actually in a pit and the table is part of the floor. Usually cut die shoes on it.
 
i'll take my V8 Siamese. W16...

I thought that too, gave the machinist lots of time to read a book
